It may not be worth the effort though. The global zone on SmartOS is loaded into ram form a USB key and is read-only-ish. You could ofcourse use the support to replace some files from the grub prompt and run some custom smf hooks to get those loaded.
Then you'll need to passthrough the device to one of your zones using zonecfg... it's a whole can of worms. I is certainly possible, but it will be as fragile as a house of cards. If you want a desktop of sorts, you're better of with OmniOS or OpenIndiana as jperkins mentioned.
